In some of the precinct meetings, which, in the country, were held during the day, an issue was made on the legislative candidate as between <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county">W.

Text Any textual data included in the document Those who anticipate a serious split in the colored Republican ranks, to arise from the bolt which occurred in the mob Convention last Thursday, will be disappointed. It isn't that kind of a fight, and will not produce such a result. McCary, Wood, Wilson, <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county">W. H. Lynch</a> and Fitzhugh, who are the shrewd and energetic managers of the colored element here, will get them all straight very soon again under the banner of "War on the white Carpet-Bagger and Scalawag." But the thing won't go down well with the "Caucasians," because they are to be the victims of the crusade which has thus been fairly initiated against them, and many of them (not only in the eastern and seashore counties but also here) will repudiate <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county">Lynch</a> upon the same ground that <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county">Lynch</a>'s friends repudiated Perce - should <a href="http://msstate-exhibits.libraryhost.com/exhibits/show/legislators/william-h--lynch--adams-county">Lynch</a> be nominated at Brookhaven.

The laboring Classes are in more need now than they were at any time since high water. for the reason that since the water has begun falling. They the (laborers) are Endeavoring to pitch there crops, and as they cannot get advancements from the merchants until their crops are sufficiently advanced as to guarantee the merchant of his pay, They the (laborers) have Either to abandon their crops in the overflowed districts and flocks to the towns in order to keep from starving.
